COVID VACCINE & EXPOSURE INFORMATION:

Do I still have to quarantine after I've been vaccinated if I am identified as a close contact to someone with COVID-19? (Updated 3/8/21)

If you have gotten two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines or one dose of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine more than 14 days ago, you are not required to quarantine following an exposure unless you have symptoms. If you have symptoms and have been exposed, you should quarantine and contact your healthcare provider to determine if you should be tested for COVID.
